The upshot: Puerto Ricans are US citizens and tend to vote Democrat. They probably aren’t fans of President Trump at the moment. This could upset the political balance in places like Florida. Will Republicans (cynically) offer a big aid package to keep them on the island? Will Democrats (cynically) block a large aid package to try and stack the deck in their favor in future elections?

One of the places I tend to get content is from The Next Platform. A bit of a silicon / High Performance Computing focus, but very well written. Lots of good info on emerging architectures, particularly accelerators. Also exists as a mailing list that arrives weekly.

An article from the Atlantic. I am sure much will be written in the coming days. The same pundits will be on TV repeating the same lines. I keep thinking of the line from the old song “he can see no reason, because there are no reasons, what reason do you need to be shown?” Who cares who this person is, or why he did this? It does not have to be this way, but I am afraid I don’t see the will to change in America today.
